The auto plugs work great and I have had no issues. I think bottom plugs usually foul more than top plugs. I know some operators have installed their electronic system to run the lower plugs with success. It is just easier to mount the electronic hardware on top of the engine I think is the reason most use the Plasma on top.

I tried every kind of sparkplug and have obtained the best results with Nipon Denso GPR27U spark plugs. Aviation spark plugs did not work well . You can get the sparkplug adapter bushinngs from Klaus Savior at lightspeed. I also obtained the longest service life from MSD racinng coils and sparkplug wire. Call me @ 920 619 6968 for further details.

I can't get my standard single ground tool to fit the 3 ground tabs.

My current configuration are a couple of Cannon or Amphenol connectors used as my firewall pass through. I assume most of us have a similar configuration. While this is not too difficult as one is building, changes after flying can be extremely difficult due to all the =93aviation=94 crap in the way. The firewall side can be difficult but the upside down and backwards nature of under panel repairs begs for a better solution. It seem s like a simple service loop on both sides of the panel would be a easy fix. The service loop of 12-18=94 would allow one to remotely mount the connector(s) to a position of better access. Or firewall mounting with a release bracket to give better access to the wires. My ideal setup would be either 36-48 pre-wired jumper lengths. Maybe all on e gauge wire or half one gauge, half smaller gauge wires. A couple of pass through units should be enough to solve most wiring issues. My question is=85 Does this solution already exist or are people doing something else to solve this challenge that I don=92t know about?
